Ravi Zacharias Is Quotations

Everyone - pantheist, atheist, skeptic, polytheist - has to answer these questions: 'Where did I come from? What is life's meaning? How do I define right from wrong and what happens to me when I die?' Those are the fulcrum points of our existence.

When your life is changed by Jesus, you are a new creature. God not only changes what you do, He also changes what you want to do.

Love is hard work. It is the hardest work I know of, work from which you are never entitled to take a vacation.

Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing.

Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.

If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.

Love is as much a question of the will as it is of the emotion. And if you WILL to love somebody, you can.

The loneliest moment in life is when you have just experienced that which you thought would deliver the ultimate, and it has just let you down.

We do not live so that we can eat, nor do we just eat so that we can live. Life is worth living in and of itself. Life cannot be satisfied when it is lived out as a consuming entity. When it is filled by that which satisfies a hunger that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly fulfilling.

Truth is that which affirms propositionally the nature of reality as it is.
